Wondrous Item, Legendary (Requires Attunement)

The Caduceus is a staff that features five dragons winding around it, with the top featuring two unfolded dragon wings. The staff was created by the wizard Damon over five centuries ago. Forged in the primordial waters of the Nether Sea, the Caduceus was a life-giving staff with the power to turn the tide against the Titans in the First War. Damon gave it to the Dragonlord Karpathos, also known as the Wolf Lord, who used the Caduceus to raise the Dragonlords from death during the First War. But he was seduced by Lutheria into believing the staff could elevate him to godhood, leading him to betray his fellow Dragonlords and swear an oath to Lutheria. He later broke the oath at the urging of his wife and Lutheria transformed him into Thylea’s first vampire as punishment.

The Caduceus has 10 charges. Magic of Life and Death. While holding the staff and by expending one or more charges, you can cast one of the spells in the Caduceus Spells table from it, using your spell save DC and spell attack modifier. You cannot use this property if you are a Fiend or an Undead.

Regaining Charges. The staff regains all its charges daily at dawn.

Destroying the Staff. The Caduceus can only be broken by a Hyperion (appendix B). When the staff is destroyed, the primordial force within can be used to cast the True Resurrection spell once, or it can be used to cast the True Polymorph spell on one creature with divine blood, transforming it into a Young Hyperion (appendix B).
